Managed IT Services

Why outsource your IT?

There are a number of reasons why businesses of all sizes today are choosing Managed IT services, and outsourcing the IT function entirely, rather than retaining it in-house. Outsourced IT has become so widespread that current predictions anticipate growth in the neighborhood of $200 billion by the year 2020. Some of the factors contributing to the stunning growth and popularity of managed IT services are the following:

the efficiency and reliability of IT operations are greatly improved

security and compliance is made easier and more uniform

maintenance and upgrades are done proactively by the provider

the Managed IT approach is cost-effective, and allows for predictable management costs

in-house IT staff members are freed up to work on business-critical projects

companies have quicker and broader access to emerging technologies

it is not necessary to have in-house IT expertise

it allows for the shifting of capital expenses over to operating expenses

Any one of the above reasons might be sufficient to justify moving your company to Managed IT services, but taken altogether, they present a very compelling rationale for seeking out a well-qualified company to outsource IT functions.

Proactive vs Reactive Monitoring

Network monitoring is an essential aspect of maintaining business-critical systems, and ensuring that they are always ready to support the company’s goals and objectives. When this is done on a proactive basis, it can identify problems before they actually happen, and avoid costly downtime and repairs. Our proactive monitoring is much more beneficial than the typical reactive approach which many companies are obliged to adopt due to limited resources. By the time a problem has occurred, it’s pretty much guaranteed to cost your company time and money to set things right again, and that’s exactly why being proactive makes far more business sense. We mitigate these risks with regular preventative maintenance activities to reduce the number of emergency incidents you can encounter.

Our Managed IT services are offered at rates which you can budget for monthly, and have the confidence that comes from knowing what your IT costs will be for that month – and for all the coming months throughout the duration of a contract period. It can be a huge benefit to your company, in terms of keeping costs in check, and not having wild fluctuations in your budgeting. This means all your mobile device management, cloud storage, security requirements, and VoiP services can come under one umbrella, and be provided reliably for one flat rate.

Virtual CIO / technology roadmap discussion

As your virtual CIO, we can help formulate your strategic IT goals, plan your budgeting, analyze and improve on existing business practices, and even prepare a technology road map that will help you take advantage of emerging technologies which may be of benefit to your company.
